If his ability as a coach was as deft as his hand at self-promotion he'd be a force to be reckoned with. As it is his name only strikes fear in buffet owners in NFL cities around the league._________________

I remember a lot of talk about needing good CBs to play Rob's defense. Saints have no CBs. Seems like a bad fit.

But, I guess "nowhere to go but up" also applies. I believe Saints will be in the playoffs next season.

Our CB's are actually really good. IN MAN TO MAN. Last year we played zone, our secondary is terrible in zone. But we have corners who play at their highest in man-to-man. (See 09') They're not the best corners, but they play at their highest in man-to-man, which when you have Breesus manning your offense, all you need is mediocre on defense. I'm getting ready to "party with the Lombardi" again, as its only a matter of time..._________________

I like Rob Ryan but I was far more worried about them possibly getting Crennel instead. Either way, this should start putting their defense in the right direction because the ones they have been fielding for most recent years has been laughable.

Crennel's system is out of date though. And, I agree, our last at least decent defense was 09'._________________

Yes, because he got the Cowboys from 31st to 14th in his 1st season, then in a season FILLED with injuries they were 19th. All we need is a top 20 defense and we'll have a 2nd SB._________________
